The daffodils in our front yard are finally blooming, and they’re always the first little burst of color that tells me spring is really on its way.

Iran Against the World: A Reflection on Freedom and Hope. This subject saddens me. I am for the freedom of the common people of Iran. Everyone should be able to walk the streets of the country they live in and not worry about retaliation. I do believe the countries that are trying and working for
